UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

MANETHO C. JACKSON, OF DENVER, COLORADO;

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MANETno C. J AOKSON,

. a citizen of Denver, residing at Denver, in the county of Arapahoe andState of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improve mentsinHorse-Powers for BalingI'resscs; and I do declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part ofthis specification.

My invention relates to liorse-powers for baling-presses, and theobjects of my invention are, first, to provide a horse-power forbaling-presses by which a positive double reciprocating action will beimparted to the plunger of a baling-press .while the powersweep isperforming a revolution; second, to provide a strong, effective, andinexpensive horse power for operating baling-presscs, that can be easilymounted on wheels for transportation. I accomplish these objects by themechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l isa side view of the entire machine with'one side of the frame removed andthe crosspieces in section. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same with theupper cross-timber of the frame broken away in order to show themechanism below it.

Similarletters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings, A represents the frame by which the operating parts ofthe device are supported. I v

B is a double cam formed as shown, and is held in position by an uprightshaft, 0, which is' provided with a square projection, O, on its upperend. The lower end is formed with a shoulder,onwhich it rests. It isheld in po-- sition and rotates in bearings I) and D, which are firmlyattached to the main frame. The sweep E, to which the power is applied,is provided with a square socket, which fits over the square projectionO on the upper end of SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent 1%.367,106, dated July 26, 1887.

Application filed April 29,1887.

the shaft 0. The arm G is formed, as shown, and is pivoted to the frameA by the bolt F.

This arm is provided with a frietion-wheel,

H, heldin position by the bolt I, against which the face of the cam Boperates. One end of the rods J and K are pivoted to the arm G by thebolt I. The cam L,with its arm L, (which is pivoted to the rod K by thebolt K,) is pivoted to the frame by the bolt L The rod M is pivoted tothe rod J by the bolt N at one end. The opposite end is formed into aneye, by which it is connected to the plunger. This rod is held inposition by the guide-boxes O and P, which are attached to the frame. On

the sides of the frame are attached the axles R, on which wheels may beplaced for the purpose of transferring the machine from place to place.

In operating, the power is applied to the sweep E, which rotates the camB, which forces the arms G K L, cam L, and rods M and J from theposition shown in dotted lines to the position indicated in the solidlines,

and as the cam B continues in its course it comes in contact with thecam L and'turns it to one side, as shown in dotted lines, which bringsthe mechanism back to its normal position. Thus it willv be seen thateach arm of the cam as it makes a revolution causes the rod M to moveback and forth, which gives a double reciprocating movement of the rod Mwith each revolution of the sweep.

Having, now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a horse power for operating balingpresses, the combination of theconnectingrods M and J, arm G, friction-wheel H, cam L, rod L, rod K,cam B, shaft 0, and sweep E,

and frame A, substantially as described, and
